If you have an older Apple TV and you want to show off their Apple TV, the $15 TotalMount mounting shelf is perfect for you. Its strong adhesive and rotating mounting bracket let you choose the exact place to attach it, whether to the back of your TV or hanging down from a shelf on your TV table.Attaching the shelf to the back of your TV effectively eliminates unsightly cords, especially if your TV is wall-mounted. However, attaching the mount to the bottom of your television and keeping the Apple TV in sight can solve a lot of infrared remote problems, especially for those with vaulted ceilings (nothing to bounce the signal!).In addition to Apple TV 3 (2012), this TotalMount shelf also works with Apple TV 2 (2010).
